         75R7260 MI-D                           

                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to county auditors who serve more than one county.

 1-3           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

 1-4           SECTION 1.  Section 84.008(a), Local Government Code, is

 1-5     amended to read as follows:

 1-6           (a)  Except as provided by Section 84.005, the [The]

 1-7     commissioners courts of two or more counties [that each have a

 1-8     population of less than 25,000] may agree to jointly employ and

 1-9     compensate a county auditor.

1-10           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-11     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-12     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-13     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-14     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-15     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-16     passage, and it is so enacted.
